    Peking duck
    Ha N.

    Ambiance: beautiful big bar with Asian decor. I'm not sure about the underwater guy in the front though. Service: quick service and good came out with little wait. Food: there was a blend of Chinese-American, sushi and Thai. I typically do not go to restaurants that have that many Asian cuisines on their menu because it looks confusing to me. I normally choose more 'authentic' style restaurants. I want to state that so my review doesn't seem too harsh. 2 of my friends and I shared the crab rangoons, Peking duck and broccoli. Crab Rangoon was average but I did appreciate the sauce wasn't the typical sweet chili sauce. Our main had great crispy skin but the duck was dry. I was disappointed since it was $69 so I was expecting it to be a lot better. The broccoli had great taste but u was surprised that it was American broccoli and not Chinese broccoli. I understand it's Chinese American but maybe I should have read the description a little better. My friends did love it. Overall - the food was ok. The service was great.

    Wantons Sichuan Spicy Wontons (6)
    Janae W.

    Went here with a friend to try out the food, I've seen tiktoks about the menu and bar service and I have to say they live up to the hype. There was about a 5 minute wait and Jason at the front was kind of us to bring us some cold water to our table. The decor is so fun they have a lot of Asian inspired art on the wall and a sea diver in the front I had to grab a pic. Also shoutout to our waiters Liam and Anastasia who were so kind to give us recommendations for appetizers and drinks. The lemonade is so refreshing you gotta have it We ordered the crab ragoons, spicy dumplings and beef ribs to start. The crab ragoons was my favorite bite and I loved the peanut flavor on the spicy dumplings. The ribs were a little charred but the sauce helped. For our entrees we had some sushi rolls, the fish tasted very fresh and we left feeling so full. The menu here is solid and the vibes are chill I will be back in the future.

    Fried rice, imperial roll, coconut shrimp and Lo Mein

    Third visit another 3/3. I tried the coconut shrimp this time and even my kids couldn't stop eating it. Forgot how big the sushi rolls were but they were devoured. At this point I'm going to try the whole menu! Had no problem getting a table for four at 5pm on a Sunday.

    Crispy Veg. Spring Roll (V.) (2)

    Songbird has such a beautiful, cozy vibe perfect for a rainy day. I stumbled upon this gem while searching for a sushi spot for lunch, and I'm so glad I did. We started with the fried chicken bao, which was saucy, crunchy, and paired perfectly with the soft, fluffy bao bun. My husband ordered the vegetable spring rolls, which he thought were just okay. Next, I had the Dynamic sushi roll, and it was excellent. The shrimp tempura inside was warm with the perfect crunch, which paired beautifully with the spicy tuna on top. For my entrée, I ordered the Singapore rice noodles, and they were by far the best I've ever had full of flavor and perfectly cooked. My husband had the fried rice with vegetables, and he really enjoyed his dish as well. We also tried the lychee cocktails, which were smooth and delicious, though a bit on the pricey side for my liking. As for the service, I have no complaints. Our food came out promptly, and our drinks were consistently refilled. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely come back to try more dishes on the menu.

    Hot and sour soup
    Susan H.

    We decided to give Songbird a try after looking at their menu. We were here on a Saturday around 4 p.m., and there were only two other occupied tables. An employee greeted us and he asked where we wanted to sit. We chose a table near the door. It had banquette seats as well as chairs. The decor here is somewhat quirky, especially the statue-like figure in a diving suit. To drink, my husband got a Tsingtao beer, and I got a yuzu-lime spritzer mocktail. I liked that mocktail as it was very refreshing. Our server was polite, friendly, and efficient. We both started with hot and sour soup. It was quite good, which we appreciated, especially since in recent times, we've had some less-than-stellar versions elsewhere. The soup had just enough "hot" and "sour" plus the amount of stock was generous. It was served to us along with a good-sized bowl of crispy noodles. For our entrees, we chose Ma Po Tofu and General Tso's chicken. We appreciated that all their chicken entrees have white meat. The Ma Po Tofu was a vegan version. It did have some spice, and we thought the amount of spice was just right. We also enjoyed the General Tso's chicken. It was properly prepared with just enough sauce. The portion was large, and we ended up taking some home with us. Each entree comes with jasmine rice, and we had enough left to take home with the chicken. Overall, we really liked the food, and we both agree that we will return.

    Sichuan green beans
    Terri D.

    Met up with friend for week day lunch - it was Easter / Spring break week, restaurant was surprisingly quiet - guess everyone out of town. Fine with us, less crowds the better. Ordered the Sichuan green beans, moo shu pork & Toyko rolls - the beans spicy & crunchy was my fav. I really wanted sashimi but there was no sampler platter, just by the piece. Gorgeous interior, nice spot for a date or just friends outing with the extensive drinks menu.

    Our Famous General Tso Chicken
    Sam C.

    The atmosphere here is a vibe. Def a cool feel. However, the food was just okay. Tried their famous General Taos chicken and it was a bit disappointing. A lot of the pieces were just fried breading and the chicken overall was over fried and a bit dry. I liked the rib concept but it required the sauce since the char siu marinate wasn't completely there. The spider roll was just okay. Maybe I had too high expectations. Seems like a dope place for drinks. I'd try them again and see if it's any better.

    Soup
    Nikki M.

    It was a carry out order. But the restaurant itstif inside is really pretty and interesting. Nice car. Sitting states and decorations. Atmosphere is really chill. Service was great. Easy pick up. Free outdoor parking Food was good. I would say wings were not my fav. But i also got hot and sour soup, which was great. I got cucumbers, which were amazing. They were just slightly pickled with nice sesame seeds over them really delicious shrimp fried rice was good. Shrimp was really big and delicious. Rice seemed a little dry. Eggrolls were great. I would definitely return and try more things of the Manuel and I will also try to sit at the bar only because I really like the ambience.

    Hot & Sour Soup with Wonton Chips
    Hina M.

    I've been coming to Songbird for a while now--since they opened and took over the previous restaurant, Masala Wok. I loved their hot and sour soup. BUT after the rude and unprofessional front desk lady spoke to me when I tried to order the soup over the phone, that changed. She said it's "company policy" to order online, which is clearly not true. She was extremely condescending and abrasive. I know she's not the owner, but she's bad for business. I'll be finding another place for my hot and sour soup. Goodbye, Songbird.

    Sticky Crispy Beef
    Britney B.

    Songbird is honestly a hidden gem that provides a dark and romantic vibe for a girls night out or just a casual night out with your partner. The atmosphere: Small and intimidate restaurant. Offers booth and bar seating, you'll get great experiences at both. The food: The five spice chicken wings are crispy on the outside and hot and juicy on the inside. Served with a sweet sauce, comparable to fish sauce, it was the perfect starter. My friends and I shared the Sticky Crispy Beef and the Fried Rice. By far my favorite crispy beef that I have tried. The service: I can't say enough good things about how amazing, welcoming, and friendly everyone is here. The bartender, Nate (I think), was great too!

    HK milk tea punch
    Khanh-Chau M.

    Came on a Sunday night and wasn't too crowded! They decorated the place very well, both for the Chinese American aspects and Christmas holidays. I had the HK Milk Tea Punch which was tasty, but don't really think it was worth $20 essentially. I had the sticky crispy beef which was pretty tasty alongside the free rice refills! Definitely more of Chinese American taste so expect that when you come here. Pretty atmosphere and would come again for Chinese American food, but maybe something that doesn't lean more towards traditional dishes/something that could be found cheaper at other Chinese restaurants.

    Stopped by with friends for dinner. Located in a shopping plaza in fairfax, there's plenty of parking outside! Indoors is beautifully decorated with low dim lights. I was surprised how much smaller the dining room was compared to the outside building lol Menu consisted of Chinese American cuisine and sushi options! We ordered the mapo tofu, crispy beef, and general tso chicken. There's also a cool drink menu with unique Asian inspired recipes, which my friend said was good! Mapo tofu: this was okay.. you have to pay extra to get meat added which was interesting lol the flavor was okay. Crispy beef: flavor was amazing! Beef pieces were crispy & was pleasantly surprised on this portion size. General tso chicken: portion size was pretty good however I thought the chicken could have been crispier. The sauce was very sticky/ clumpy & wasn't really spicy imo. Service was friendly & was waited in fast (including food came out very fast!) + side is that there is free rice refills! Overall, it's a decent place depending on what you're craving. This place definitely is higher in prices compare to other Chinese American restaurant. I'd come back for the crispy beef if I was craving it but probably would not select songbird to get mapo tofu or general tso chicken.

    Steamed  Crispy/Steam Pork Dumpling (4)
    Shayna H.

    Songbird has a great vibe with amazing decor accompanied with great food and amazing service. I came to Songbird extremely hungry and the portion sizes were so big that I ended up with leftovers. My favorite thing that I ate was probably the chicken lo mein. Everything was extremely flavorful. All of the servers were extremely attentive to us and made sure that we had everything we needed. Can't wait to come back! Just as an FYI Songbird is a small restaurant with only a few tables so keep that in mind. We went on a Saturday night and as it got busy there were no tables left. But they ended up doing is having people sit at the bar and move them over to tables as they became available.

    The food is not good. I ordered noodle and rice and it's very salty. Not recommended.
